I will download pictures to my pc using microsoft camera wizard. I do not
erase the pictures afterwards using microsoft camera feature. Instead I put
the chip back in my camera and then erase. So then my chip has no pictures on
it.

However, here is the problem. The next time I go to download pictures form
the chip microsoft camera wizard shows pictures that were on the chip before
and the new pictures. How can this posssibly be the case? The camera does not
show the old pictures on he chip before I do the download, but the download
shows the old pictures. Makes no sense to me whatsover.

I could let XP erase pictures and see what happens, but there are times I
want to download pictures, but have them available for viewing on my camera a
little longer before I erase them.
 
Yes, the pictures are stored on the computer. But why should that be an
issue? I want the pictures on my computer. The way it is working is a pain. I
may have 40 new pictures on the chip but the wizard will show 400 pictures.
Have uncheck all and then click the 50.

The pictures are erased from the chip. If I press the display button, there
are no pictures to view on the camera.
 
Not a good idea to use your computer to erase the files on your card.
You may want to check your menu selection in your camera about erasing
files, you may have selected to protect them.
As previously mentioned to you, the best way to erase everything is to
"Format" the card using your camera. Look in your camera manual for "Format"
to find this item and how to do it. This will erase everything and make the
card ready for new picture taking.
 
If before I take any new pictures I erase all existing pictures using the
'erase all pictures' of the camera and then I click display and there are no
pictures, then when I go to download the pictures in ANY folder, the wizard
still shows 'old' and 'new' pictures. Ho can there be 'old' pictures since
the camera does not show any 'old' pictures on it. When in the past I used
the fuji software I never had this issue. So, I guess I need to reload the
fuji software. i will also look into the format feature and then do that
instead of putting more software on my computer.

What I don't understand is if the camera itself does not see old pictures,
why the wizard does. Oh well.
